Privacy policy

Last updated October 20, 2026

Banneton is private by nature. The app does not collect personal data about you. Your starters, feeds, bakes, recipes, and photos live on your device and sync only through your own iCloud account. There is no Banneton account, and we run no server that stores your content.

What we collect

Nothing that identifies you, by default. We do not use analytics that identify you, we do not track you across apps or websites, and we do not sell or share your personal information. The only third party involved in your use of Banneton is Apple, which processes your purchases and syncs your content to your own iCloud. Both are described below.

Where your data lives

All of your content is stored locally using Apple’s on-device storage. If you are signed in to iCloud and have it enabled, Apple syncs your content to your private iCloud database so it appears on your other devices. That sync is handled by Apple under Apple’s terms and privacy policy. We cannot see it. We keep your content only on your device and your iCloud, for as long as you choose to keep it, until you delete it.

Purchases and subscriptions

Purchases are processed by Apple, through the App Store. The app reads your subscription status from the App Store on your device, so it can tell whether Premium is active. We do not run a purchase server, we do not receive your purchase or payment details, and no third-party service sees your purchases. See Apple’s privacy policy for how Apple handles purchase data.

Photos

If you add a photo to a feed or a bake, the app uses your photo library only to attach the image you choose. Photos stay on your device and in your iCloud. They are not uploaded to us.

Importing a recipe

If you import a recipe from a link, the app fetches that page directly from the website you choose so it can read the recipe on your device. That website may record the request as it would any visit. If you import a recipe from a photo, the text is read on your device. Either way, the parsed recipe stays on your device, and nothing is sent to us.

Diagnostics

Banneton records anonymous usage and diagnostic events on your device using Apple’s built-in logging, to help us understand which features are used and to catch crashes. These stay on your device. If you choose to share crash and performance data with developers in your iOS settings, Apple may provide it to us in an aggregated form that does not identify you. We use no third-party analytics or crash-reporting tools.

Contacting support

The Request a feature and Report an error buttons open a draft email in your mail app, addressed to us, with the app version, your iOS version, your device model, and your language in the message. Nothing is sent unless you choose to send the email, and you can edit or delete any of it first. If you email us, we use your address and message only to reply.

Children

Banneton is a general-audience baking app and is not directed to children. Because we do not collect personal data, we do not knowingly collect data from children.

Your choices

You are in control of your content. You can delete any starter, feed, or bake in the app at any time, and you can use Settings to delete all of your data from your device at once. You can export your records to CSV. To remove everything, you can also delete the app, which removes its on-device data, and remove its iCloud data from your Apple ID settings.

California privacy rights

We do not collect personal information that identifies you, and we do not sell or share personal information as those terms are used under California law, so there is no "Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information" link to provide. If you are a California resident, you still have the rights to know what personal information a business has collected, to delete it, to correct it, and to not be discriminated against for exercising these rights. Because your content lives on your device and your own iCloud, you can exercise the rights to access and delete it directly in the app. To ask a question or make a request about your privacy, email us at support@handlerlabs.app and we will help, including by directing you to Apple for anything it processes. We do not offer financial incentives in exchange for personal information.

Changes

If this policy changes, we will update the date above and post the new version here. We review it at least once a year.
